Bowl For Kids' Sake 2009

I have signed up to participate as a team captain for Bowl For Kids' Sake 2009. This event is being held to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our team goal is to raise $1,000.00 before the middle of March. $1,000.00 will support the mentoring of a child for an entire year. Please follow this link to check out our team page. Any support, any support at all, that you can offer will be appreciated, not only by my team, but also by the child you are giving time to, time that will be used to show them that they are worth our time, that their lives and well being is important to us, time that will be spent showing the child the love that is available in this world.

I have had a number of friends that were an active part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I felt that what they did was a great thing for the community. The program has been successful for so many years already, and through some previous research on it I've seen that it's benefits can be immense. Any help that this organization could get would be appreciated and would help better this nation through the youth. It is great to see people reaching out on the Internet to voice anything about this group and their activities.

About Me

After a very, very trying life I was lucky enough to find my soul mate (yes, it was kismet) & birth the miracle of our daughter, who is now 3. In addition to our bundle we also have 2 canines, a 10 yr old Aussie and a 6 mo old German Shepard. I am working towards my degree in Secondary English Education. I plan to teach high school English. Why, you ask. Because that is where I believe I can be the most help. My man often tells me "You can't save the world." To which I reply "I can try." I am super-sensitive to others who are being treated poorly, and if the maltreatment involves children, even ones I don't know, consuming anger and sadness seeps from my pores. I am brutally honest and very blunt. My friends will tell you “If you want to know the truth go see her” and point to me. I believe I am an idealist. I’m not the person who thinks “things are bad but that’s the way the world is.” In this idea’s place is “It shouldn’t be that way. I will never accept the wrong and I will do whatever I can to change it.” Please see my first post for more on what my blog represents and view my complete profile.
